Something to really think about

Charles Schultz Philosophy------The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the"Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions.Just read the e-mail, straight through, and you'll get the point.1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actorand actress.6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. Theseare nosecond-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applausedies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten. Accolades andcertificates are buried with their owners.Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficulttime.3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated andspecial.5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.Easier?The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the oneswith the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are theones that care.Pass share this with those people who have made a difference in your life."Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrowin Australia." (Charles Schultz)
